Lately, someone who claims to be "Jason Duvall" from "Capital Management" has been posting housing listings for the Provo/Orem Utah area. This may or may not be a scam. We are unsure at this point. The most recent that I have seen looks like this:
$570 / 3br - ::Apts -3B Luxury Living!:: (provo)
:Apts - 3B Luxury Living!::
-3 Bedrooms + Bonus Room / Office
- 1 and 1/2 New Bathrooms
- New Carpet
- New Tile Floors
- New Equipped Kitchen W/
Fridge
Stove
Microwave
Garbage Disposal
$570 ONLY
After emailing them and asking questions, only one question was answered. This was their reply:

We require a completed credit report for each prospective tenant before scheduling a walkthrough. Please use this link: Fill out the quick credit application and follow the prompts to complete the process. This will also let me qualify you for our zero move-in deposit special.
After you have finished the application, please send your report Confirmation ID and I will get back to you shortly to schedule a viewing and (hopefully) a lease signing!! Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Warmest Regards,

Some things about this email were huge signs that I should not follow through:
When I emailed him, I signed it with my name. When the email was sent back, he used part of my email address as my name. A credit check is also required before I walk through the place. If credit checks are required, they are usually only after you agree that you would like to move into the apartment, condo, house, etc. And lastly, there is no email address, physical address, or telephone number after his name and his company's name. Upon researching this company, I found no legitimate Capital Managements in Utah.
The email of this person is 2003jasonduvall@gmail.com.

I just got the same email, but for a property in Irvine, CA (note that he signed it "DR Incorporated" this time around):
Thanks for inquiring about this property. It is available now. I'm looking to fulfill a nine or twelve month lease.. All our leases include heat and hot water. Tenant pays electricity.. Its worth mentioning that the electricity usually runs about $35-$55 per month. We'll waive your move in fees (usually 1 months rent) AND we're offering 2 weeks FREE if you sign a lease before March 19th.
We require a completed credit report for each prospective tenant before scheduling a walkthrough. Use the following link: Fill out the quick credit application and follow the prompts to complete the process. This also helps me to qualify you for our no deposit special.

When I emailed him back asking a few questions he said he "wasn't comfortable talking online" (even though one of the questions was asking for a number to contact him).
I had the same response for property in CHICAGO and it was linked to postlets.com. My first red flag was that the email didn’t include any identifiable information about the property I inquired about through trulia.com.
Secondly, the property was listed for relatively cheap (beachside property fully loaded w/ amenities AND parking included) for $900… yeah too good to be true. And then "he" wanted a credit report, understandable considering the property that was listed BUT before walk through... and from a disreputable credit site. yeah, I don't think so.
I had the same generic email as everyone else but he's signing it differently.

Did anyone click the link and complete the application? My best guess is that he is attempting to get affiliate commissions, as an affiliate for creditreport.com - maybe, maybe not, what do you think? Is there anything else he could do if you completed the application.
Ugh, I feel like a complete idiot. I definitlely signed up after he wrote back saying we couldn't proceed with the apartment without my getting the credit report. Like a complete asshole, I listened. Credit report.com charged me $15 a month, and apparently then sold my information to 3 other companies. Nightmare. Thankfully, these other companies are giving me my money back, but creditreport.com itself is not being as forgiving. SCAM. Is there anything we can do about this???
